For Children

Drop-in Programs
Drop-ins are programs that allow you to interact with your children and network with other parents and caregivers. Our Early Childhood professionals are available during these times to provide information on parenting, family, health, development, and behaviour, or to help address specific concerns.

Drop-in (newborn to 6 years)
Parents/caregivers and their children are welcome to attend any of our informal and friendly “drop-ins”. Available activities include circle times, creative art and sensory activities, a large variety of toys, and free play.

Create, Make and Shake (newborn to 6 years)
A cooperative drop-in for parents/caregivers and their children. Join us for some fun with music, movement, and creative activities. No registration required, but space is limited.

My Baby and Me (newborn to 16 months)
A drop-in for parents/caregivers and their babies newborn to 16 months. Adults enjoy conversation, meeting others, and making new friends while babies enjoy toys and songs. No registration required, but space is limited.

Drop-in program schedule

Registered Programs
Registered programs are programs that provide more structure than drop-in programs. These programs include activities specific to the needs and interests of children at different ages and stages of development. Registered programs are offered in 8-9 week sessions through out the year.

Session dates: please see registration information for session dates and registration deadlines. Due to program demand, registration is based on a lottery system. Lotteries take place six times a year. More ...
